As a reader I’ve learned that if I start reading a WIP that I might not get an ending. I have learned that this is part of this genre. Kind of like reader beware. I also know as a writer how real life happens or when the imagination stops or goes to a different story. Maybe it is just me and I’m a scattered brain, which is good when it comes to reading many stories at the same time, because I seem to remember where I left off.
As a writer I would not post a WIP because I tend to start and not finish. Here being a scatter brain isn’t so good. I also edit myself a lot, because I can go on and on about something that brings nothing to the story, especially with dialogue. But this is me, and maybe a WIP might help me move, but at this time I wouldn’t dare. I also think that there are some that probably do their best work with WIP, because they get some ideas and motivation from the readers. I personally think I would panic and draw a blank.
